Sting's TvP is very cheesy and gimmicky and creator is fantastic at dealing with the funky builds I think creator will be very confident and sting needs to bring something else entirely new. well it's the best way to win when you don't have godlike lategame control. Funny how keen has a 65+% winrate vZ in korea and only 52+% in the international TLPD
I won't deny it's a legit way to play TvP and it's worked well for him well (Poor first can attest to that) but creator crushed that kind of thing from hack and select and while RO4 for sting is great I'm not entirely sold that he's better than hack at least.

It would be cool if the two widdle kids were flown out to New York. That's a great storyline if someone bothered to hash out the details.

I don't think you can discount that Creator is already an established player with other tournament commitments, while Sting is looking to get the attention of the foreign scene and its the only tournament that he has to prepare for. Sting might come with something new, or a bit off the wall, but we know that Creator is going to turn up with the same solid PvT that he shows against every Terran he plays

I'm not sure about this, Creator has good micro in PvZ but he derps alot in PvT, he had like horribly bad micro against aLive in GSTL and he sometimes lose PvT weirdly. The more people will crown Creator the TSL winner, the more likely it will be that he is gonna lose.
Sting plays the same funky off standard style as Hack and Select, and Creator just A move steamrollered through them.

I don't remember the last pro-player that won using ultras, unless the game was already won and it was kind of a BM way to finish it. They are worse than Hydras, against terran.
Against protoss there are some, very specific, situations that warranty ultras. They are good, except most zergs are not careful about creating the right unit composition for them.
Yep, and that lasts for about a minute or two before Terran adjusts and ultras are almost completely useless again.
One should already start building a SPire and Greater Spire before even the first ultras, to switch as soon as they lose value.

He looks bad at PvT at times because he a moves most of the time, he seems to have a found a way to make it all work without micro but occasionally he'll a move himself to defeat.

Kind of painful watching Johny's play style...basically 1A the entire army around on creep chasing one drop after another.
Other problem was tech choice...ultra's can work...just not in big groups. They have huge diseconomies of scale because they logjam. You just need a couple of ultra's to tank damage/force marauder production...then let infestor/ling do the grunt work until broodlords come out.

Sure but the TSL favorites never win the TSL  .
Too bad that Creator is hyped up as much as he is, I wanted him to win T;T.

"Adjusting" is largely irrelevant as the theoretical counters (maruaders+medivac) make you more vulnerable to the other parts of the army (zergling+infestor). It's all about engagements and unit ratios, and that's where most zergs fall flat on their faces.

Him or Keen/Life. Everybody can win the TSL from now on. Creator is the best player left but that doesn't guarantee anything.

im betting on life 0_0
even though he slips off at lan events due to his nerve issues
he can confront any world class players online events. Ive already kept a close
eye on this player this guy is just siiiiiiiiick

So sad watching JREcco lose today. What a total baller.
|
I want to see Creator win it all!
Life is in a close second though!
|
Thank god Recco got knocked out! Keen fighting~

Jrecco and vortix looking like typical patch zergs 1a-ing their whole army around for terran drops/runbys. Amazing how far you can get with such simple play.
